all. I would like to replace the carburetor in my 64 LeBaron and, using
manual information as there is no tag affixed or stamping marks I can see,
have determined that all 64's use the Carter AFB. If this is correct, will
someone kindly recommend a high quality new replacement?
I know this won't exactly answer your question here, but as an alternate
option, have you considered rebuilding your original carburetor?
The Carter AFB is darn near indestructible and is virtually
maintenance-free. It's an excellent, excellent carburetor! A rebuild kit
will cost about a tenth of a new carburetor, and anyone with a screwdriver
and a pair of pliers can rebuild one on the kitchen table with some time,
patience, and by following the directions included with the kit. And I
certainly say this from the "if I can do this, anyone can" perspective!
I think you would spend less money and effort rebuilding your original, and
the result would be a good, reliable carburetor, along with the
satisfaction of having done it yourself. :o)
Good luck!
